Profile:
He made the grade after coming through the ranks. A string of
notable performances with the India A team, culminating in a
brilliant century against West Indies A pitch forked Sadagopan
Ramesh into the national senior side. India A coach K Srikkanth strongly
advocated his inclusion and the selectors, searching
around for suitable opening batsmen, decided to give the left
hander from Tamil Nadu the big break in his hometown of Chennai
against Pakistan in 1999. Displaying two qualities that should
be uppermost in any opening batsman - courage and big match temperament Ramesh was an instant success. He played the pace
of Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akthar and the spin of
Saqlain Mushtaq and Mushtaq Ahmed with equal felicity, ran up a
series of consistent scores including a couple of hundreds and
suddenly India had unearthed a world class opening batsman.
But even as he ran up a Test average of 50 plus in his first half
a dozen Tests, there were the cynics who pointed out to his
faulty footwork and awry technique. Then there were the detractors
who said he would never get runs away from the sub continent and
he would come up a cropper against the Australian pace bowlers on
the faster and bouncier pitches `Down Under.' Taking up the
challenge, Ramesh proved that he could get runs in any conditions
and while he did not exactly set the Yarra river on fire, he did
enough to show that he is here to stay. He and Shiv Sundar Das have
the makings of a long term opening pair for the country. (Partab Ramchand)
